scalpel Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I've been recently to the Classicgamecreations website and I read John Dondzilla decided to close his website at the end of the year after 17 years to build games for CV, Odyssey (videopac) and Vectrex... is it the end of a age ?

+nanochess Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 It is sad that he doesn't program anymore. But anyway he could keep availability of his games, IMHO sales or keeping the website alive wouldn't take too much time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I've bought a couple of games from John, greater seller / programmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFF31 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Maybe so - If John is 'retiring' then best wishes. Hopefully he will do 'side work' in the future and continue is endevours. THANK YOU John for you past work (and hopefully future) contributions. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snesvision Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Too bad. But you know what they say about all good things... Well, his website states that "All Good Things" is the world's first 16k Vectrex game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 When I first read the title, I thought it was about an arcade game of The End. I really need to pick up a Vectrex system and get some of his games. Vectrex is one of my most wanted system to own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Geez, I hope he changes his mind. He has written some great games - I live Space Frenzy for Vectrex! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Geez, I hope he changes his mind. He has written some great games - I live Space Frenzy for Vectrex! Grrrr...Space Frenzy could've been a great game but it doesn't play like Space Fury. In Space Fury, your ship does not get destroyed when you run into the bad guys unless they form a cruiser. That's not the case in Space Frenzy and it's because of that I dislike it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I need to pick up some of his Vectrex titles while I still can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nateo Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 John's website says that someone else will be taking over production of his previous titles and that the links page will point you in the right direction. But the links page is empty. Has there been any word that I've been unaware of as to who will be continuing production of these cartridges?
